Long story short

de Philip Zimmermann · Publicada por primera vez en 1999

"Long Story Short was published in 1999, though the book was conceived and put together during a month-long residency at Yaddo Artists' Colony in Saratoga Springs, NY, in the Spring of 1997. The book is semi-autobiographical. It uses images of hands as a connecting motif throughout the book. I have always found hands to be particularly expressive. For some time, I had had the idea of taking on the challenge of trying to tell a story through the use of aphorisms or truisms. The collection, editing and positioning of these little cliches so that they told a narrative story toook a great deal of time yet was fun in the way that a puzzle is fun"--Spaceheater Editions' publication information sheet.
